mouse works under gpm, but X screws it up



dear all,

i have an microsoft intellimouse 1.1a.  it has 3 buttons, plus a wheel.
it works great under gpm.

	device=/dev/psaux
	type=imps2
	append="-R imps2"     <-- this line was me fooling around

the problem is, when i start X, the mouse is definitely not happy.  random
mouse clicks happen when i simply just move the mouse.  it's awful.   when i
go back to console, it appears that gpm is also screwed up.

however, if i kill gpm before starting X, it works just fine under X.

	Section "InputDevice"
		 Identifier  "Mouse1"
		 Driver      "mouse"
		 Option "Protocol"    "imps/2"
		 Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux"
	EndSection

when i try to change gpm to use /dev/gpmdata, the mouse stops working under
gpm.  i've been at this for awhile.   can some kind soul tell me how to get
the mouse working under both console and X?  it's a bummer having to kill
gpm everytime i want to start X up.

thanks!
pete
